First submarine attack in the world Sept. 17, 1776.
On this day in 1776, during the Revolutionary War, the American submersible craft Turtle attempts to attach a time bomb to the hull of British Admiral Richard Howe’s flagship Eagle in New York Harbor. It was the first use of a submarine in warfare. - History Channel/This day in history.

Symbolically, “Turtle” = US, “Eagle” = Bill Clinton
